The removal of dichloromethane from atmospheric pressure air streams using plasma-assisted catalysis

Plasma-assisted catalysis was used for the destruction of 500 ppm of dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ (DCM), in gas streams of air using a non-thermal, atmospheric pressure plasma utilising a dielectric packed bed. The combination of plasma and catalyst gave improved destruction of DCM. Eight catalysts which including alumina, TiO₂ and various zeolites were investigated with the finding that alumina in a one-stage reactor configuration and TiO₂ and HZSM-5 in two-stage configurations gave the best DCM destructions. The sodium zeolites are capable of reducing by 50% the unwanted NO_x by-products, formed by plasma processing in air. The nature of the catalyst is important in terms of the destruction efficiency, end-product selectivity and NO_x reduction.     

The UPF learner translation corpus as a resource for translator training

The learner translation corpus developed at the School of Translation and Interpreting of Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona is a web-searchable resource created for pedagogical and research purposes. It comprises a multiple translation corpus (English–Catalan) featuring automatic linguistic annotation and manual error annotation, complemented with an interface for monolingual or bilingual querying of the data. The corpus can be used to identify common errors in the students’ work and to analyse their patterns of language use. It provides easy access to error samples and to multiple versions of the same source text sequence to be used as learning materials in various courses in the translator-training university curriculum.     

Calcium Phosphate Materials Prepared from Precipitates with Various Calcium:Phosphorus Molar Ratios

Depending on the calcium:phosphorus molar ratio of the initial precipitates determined by precipitation conditions (calcium:phosphorus molar ratio of reactants and pH of reaction environment), after sintering at 1250°C, monophase, biphase, or triphase ceramics consisting of hydroxyapatite, β-tricalcium phosphate, α-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium oxide were obtained. The phase composition and properties—i.e., density, shrinkage, hardness, bending strength, and roughness—of the fractured surfaces of the isostatically re-pressed sinters were determined.     

A comparative study on the effect of promoter content of hydrodesulfurization catalysts at different evaluation scales

CoMo and NiMo supported Al₂O₃ catalysts have been investigated for hydrotreating of model molecule as well as industrial feedstock. Activity studies were carried out for thiophene and SRGO hydrodesulfurization (HDS) in an atmospheric pressure and batch reactor respectively. These activities on sulfided catalysts were evaluated as a function of promoter content [M/(M + Mo) = 0.30, 0.34, 0.39; M = Co or Ni] using fixed (ca. 8 wt.%) molybdenum content. The promoted catalysts were characterized by textural properties, XRD, and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). TPR spectra of the Co and Ni promoter catalysts showed that Ni promotes the easy reduction of Mo species compared with Co. With the variation of promoter content NiMo catalyst was found to be superior to CoMo catalyst for gas oil HDS, while at low-promoter content the opposite trend was observed for HDS of thiophene. The behavior was attributed to the several reaction mechanisms involved for gas oil HDS. A nice relationship was obtained for hydrodesulfurized gas oil refractive index (RI) and aromatic content, which corresponds to the Ni hydrogenation property.     

Copolymers of higher alkyl methacrylates with triallyl cyanurate

Copolymers of higher methacrylates (propyl, pentyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, heptyl, octyl, and dodecyl) with triallyl cyanurate were synthesized by free-radical polymerization using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. The properties of the copolymers such as thermal stability, T_g, Vicat softening temperature, hardness, refractive indices n_D, chemical stability, density, and shrinkage on polymerization were studied. The influence of the alcohol alkyl chain length in methacrylates and the content triallyl cyanurate in copolymers on their properties is discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reduction of NOx by H2 on WOx-Promoted Pt/Al2O3/SiO2 Catalysts Under O2-Rich Conditions

This work addresses the reduction of NO_x by H₂ under O₂-rich conditions using Al₂O₃/SiO₂-supported Pt catalysts with different loads of WO_x promotor. The samples were thoroughly characterised by N₂ physisorption, temperature-programmed desorption of CO, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, laser raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy with probe molecule CO. The catalytic studies of the samples without WO_x showed pronounced NO_x conversion below 200 °C, whereas highest efficiency was related to small Pt particles. The introduction of WO_x provided increasing deNO_x activity as well as N₂ selectivity. This promoting effect was referred to an additional reaction path at the Pt-WO_x/Al₂O₃/SiO₂ interface, whereas an electronic activation of Pt by strong metal support interaction was excluded.

Crystallization Behaviors of amino-terminated polyurethane (ATPU)-grafted polypropylene

Summary A melt-grafting approach was employed to prepare a novel functional polypropylene(FPP)—amino-terminated polyurethane grafted polypropylene (PP-g-ATPU). The crystallization behaviors of PP and PP/FPP blends were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The effects of FPP composition on crystallization behavior, crystal transformation, and morphology of PP/FPP crystalline were investigated. The results showed that at a low dosage (<2.0 wt%) ATPU acted as a heterogeneous nucleation agent during the crystallization of PP/FPP blends. However, when the content of ATPU reached 2.0 wt% or higher, ATPU deteriorated the crystallization of PP or PP/FPP blends. The crystallite size decreased and the number of crystallites increased as the ATPU content increased. The Avrami analysis was adopted to describe the isothermal crystallization process. The difference in the exponent n between PP and PP/FPP suggested that the isothermal crystallization kinetics of PP/FPP blends followed a three-dimensional growth via heterogeneous nucleation. In terms of the half-time of the crystallization, t_1/2, the crystallization rate of functional PP blends was faster than that of PP homopolymer at a given crystallization temperature.     

Assessment of weld line performance of PP/Talc moldings produced in hot runner injection molds

Weld lines are weak regions in thermoplastic injection moldings caused by low molecular entanglement and unfavorable orientation. Their occurrence may lead to a significantly reduced mechanical performance of the products. Therefore, when weld lines are likely to occur in molded products, they must be taken into account during the mechanical and technological design processes. The weld lines become more critical when particulate fillers are compounded with the polymer. The performance of weld lines in talc‐filled polypropylene box moldings produced with a double‐gated hot runner mold is assessed in this work. The processing conditions were varied in order to cause morphology and tensile‐impact resistance changes. The weld performance at room temperature was assessed in terms of the energy absorbed in the impact tests. It was found that the performance depends on the injection temperature, the injection rate, and the orientation of the talc particles in the weld‐line plane. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Evaluation of the antimicrobial action of honey against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes and Aspergillus niger. Evaluation of its microbiological charge

The evaluation of the microbiological charge present in Costa Rican samples as the evaluation of its antimicrobial activity over different microorganisms, including those associated to wound infections, will allow to emit criteria referred to its use in therapeutic treatments, specially as alternative therapy for cases involving antibiotic resistant bacteria. The microbiological charge of 25 honey samples, acquired in Costa Rican markets was evaluated through several indicators including total plate aerobic count, total plate anaerobic count, total aerobic spore count, total anaerobic spore count and molds and yeast count. Also, samples were inoculated in tubes with chopped meat media and plated in egg yolk agar in order to determine the presence of Clostridium botulinum. For the antimicrobial activity evaluation, the diffusion method in Muller Hinton agar was performed, testing different honey concentrations (100, 75, 50, 25, 12,5 and 6,25 % v/v) against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Staphylococcus epidermidis (UCR 2902), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Salmonella enteritidis (ATCC 13076), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19116) and Aspergillus niger. The results obtained for the microbiological characterization of honey show that 91% of samples had counts equal or lower than 1,0 x 10(1) CFU/g. No positive result was obtained for the isolation of C. botulinum. 24 of the samples analyzed inhibited the growth of S. aureus even in a 25% v/v concentration, nevertheless, A. niger was no inhibited by any of the samples tested.
